Sample questions
What must you do at a flashing red traffic light?
- · Stop only if other vehicles are present
- · Speed up to clear the intersection
- · Slow down and continue without stopping
- ✓ Come to a full stop, then proceed when the way is clear
A flashing red light means the same as a stop sign: come to a complete stop, then proceed when it is safe (MTO Driver's Handbook).
What does a flashing green traffic light mean for a driver facing it?
- · The light is broken and you should yield
- · You must stop and wait
- · Pedestrians have the right of way only
- ✓ You may turn left, go straight or right because oncoming traffic is stopped
A flashing green light (advance green) means oncoming traffic is stopped, so you may turn left, go straight or turn right.
When you approach a steady yellow (amber) traffic light, you should:
- ✓ Stop if you can do so safely; the light is about to turn red
- · Always speed up to beat the red
- · Treat it the same as a green light
- · Stop only if a police officer is present
A steady yellow light warns the light is about to turn red. Stop if you can do so safely.
